What’s your first and second most common work ratings?
General Audiences (188) followed by Explicit (40). Which goes to show that most of my stuff is highly family friendly, right until you get to the porn. Hee.
How many fics have you written in each relationship category? Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences?
This is ridiculously skewed to M/M (175 out of 258) with Gen in second place (66). I'm very much a slasher -- it's my comfort place in fandom. You would think as a bi girl I'd have more than 4 F/F stories, but F/F always strikes a little too close to home for comfort (the porn can sometimes hit a self-consciousness/embarrassment that I don't get from M/M and I can't always suspend my disbelief between the way romance stories go and how I truly believe life goes.). I'm here for the slash romance and it definitely shows.
What are your top four fandoms by numbers? Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot?
Sports Night (74)
Stargate Atlantis (30)
Torchwood (27)
The West Wing (21)
I am a Big Deal when it comes to Sorkin fandoms, okay? No, that's not true. But SN was my most prolific period, both with many short stories and a few of my biggest stories, so no wonder it shows. But I'm also not active in any of them.
I tend to fall headlong into a new fandom, and then read a lot and write a bit, but I write less now that I did 10 years ago. I don't put the time or effort into it, so when I fall for a new fandom, it usually means 2-3 stories in that show, not dozens. So old fandoms remained skewed in terms of sheer output.
What are your top four character tags? Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?
Dan Rydell (31)
Casey McCall (31)
Matt Parkman (16)
Mohinder Suresh (15)
Hee. Okay, that both makes sense (Heroes was the fifth fandom on the list, SN is the highest) and shows that I'm a bit slapdash when it comes to labelling characters. Frequently I do it when it's gen and there's no pairing, but when there's a pair I haven't always gone back to tag for all appearing characters. (Is that how everyone else does it? Tag for the pairing and then for the main characters? Or for all appearing characters? I honestly don't know.)
A better tell is probably the relationship tags, which are:
Casey McCall/Dan Rydell (45)
Rodney McKay/John Sheppard (23)
Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones (21)
Matt Parkman/Mohinder Suresh (16)
Because, yes, still OTPs of those fandoms.
What are your top two most used additional tags, and your bottom two? What would happen if you combined all of these into a fic?
I'm not good with using additional tags. I mean, I'm trying to remember to use them, but I don't use tumblr and the whole thing where you effectively summarise an entire story through ironic or self-referential tags and sexually explicit tags still feels alien to me. I mean, even when reading AO3, I usually check the summary, the pairing and the wordcount, and frequently don't even read the tags.
Coda (3)
Alternate Universe (3)
Alternate Universe- No Supernatural (1)
Episode: s01e04 Eye-Spy (1)
So, um, a coda to 1.04 of Agents of Sheild where there's suddenly no supernatural powers?
How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?
None. Anything that goes on AO3 is as finished as it's getting. The closest might be A Grey Sea of Eucalyptus Leaves which was a WIP that totally stalled and got posted as a tiny stand-alone AU instead.
WIPs get posted on LJ/DW. Archives are for finished, beta-read stories. (I don't plan my stories well enough to edit/beta-read in chapters -- there's too much last minute order changes and shifting to do that effectively.) It's just how I'm comfortable posting fic.
